Business partners are important structures in an SAP system. In this blog post, we’ll cover the steps involved in setting up business partners for materials management (MM) purposes.

To define a business partner number range, follow the menu path Cross-Application Components > SAP Business Partner > Business Partner > Basic Settings > Define Number Ranges. Below shows the definition of business partner number range interval MM.

To assign a business partner number range, follow the menu path Cross-Application Components > SAP Business Partner > Business Partner > Basic Settings > Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges.

As shown below, the number range MM has been assigned to the business partner grouping HVPV.

We recommend creating a business partner grouping for each vendor account group. To simplify configuration and business processes, an even better method is to use the same identifiers between the FI vendor account groups and business partners.

In this step, we’ll configure a new business partner role category for vendors of high-value purchases by copying from the standard available business partner category FLVN01. A business partner role category is the highest level of business partner in which various business partner roles are created for an organization, a group, or a person.

To define business partner role categories, follow the menu path Cross-Application Components > SAP Business Partner > Business Partner > Basic Settings > Define BP Roles.

The figure below shows the list of available business partner role categories, including the standard business partner role category FLVN01, which is used in the purchasing process.

Select FLVN01 in the Role Cat. column, click on Copy As., and create the new BP Role Cat. as ZHVPRC, as shown here:

Maintain the Title and Description fields of the new business partner role category ZHVPRC. The Diff. Type field (differentiation type) is the controlling field, that is, the field that controls the types of data or the screens available while creating a new business partner of this specific business partner role category. Type 0 will enable maintenance of general data of a business partner. Type 2 will bring up purchasing-related fields, tabs, and screen of a business partner for data maintenance, while type 3 will enable maintenance of sales area data, wherein a business partner is a customer. You can also control which or all of the three business partner categories, that is, organization, person or a group is allowed for a particular business partner role category by selecting the relevant checkboxes.

For this example, choose Differentiation Type 2 as we want to create a new business partner role category for the purchasing function, and the screen shown below will appear.

You’ll see the newly configured business partner role category ZHVPRC. Select it, and click on the BP Roles located on the left hand side of the screen.

As shown in the next figure, create a new BP Role ZHVP01 by clicking New Entries and assigning the BP Role Category ZHVPRC just created in the previous step. Be sure the Std Assignment BP Role -> BP Role Cat. checkbox has been selected so that the system assigns this specific business partner role ZHVP01 to the business partner role category ZHVPRC.

It’s important to note that several business partner roles can be assigned to a business partner role category (in other words, a business partner role category can have several business partner roles assigned to it), therefore, selecting this checkbox will ensure one standard business partner role is read while creating a business partner master data.

Assign the standard BP view FLVN01 in the lower half of the screen to ensure standard screens and layouts are available while creating a new business partner of the newly configured business partner role category.

In the Interface Control section, you’ll need to choose one of the predefined customer/vendor integration (CVI) views. If no view is assigned, the settings for the business partner view 000000 (General BP) will be used in the dialog box, and you won’t be able to access the customer-/vendor-specific fields from transaction business partner.

Finally, select the BP Role Category -- > Business Transaction on the left hand side of the screen, and the popup shown below will appear. Enter the BP Role Category “ZHVPRC” and click Continue.

The next figure shows the control function that either allows or disallows business partner transactions to a business partner role category. Save your entries.

You can control fields and their behaviors by choosing which fields are mandatory or optional, display only, or hidden. To control the field attributes of the business partner role category we configured in the previous step, follow the menu path Cross-Application Components > SAP Business Partner > Field Groupings > Configure Field Attributes per BP Role > Configure Field Attributes for Each Role Category.

As shown below, choose the BP Role ZHVP01 and then click Field Grouping.

In the next figure, you’ll see a large number of Data Sets on the left hand side. Clicking on the relevant set will bring up the field group (Field Grp) where you can control the fields’ attributes. This configuration screen allows you to make certain fields required (Req. Entry), optional (Opt. entry), display only (Display), or suppressed (Hide). This configuration is specific to the business partner role that is entered when a vendor master record is created.

In this blog post, we covered business partner configuration as it pertains to MM. How will you utilize this information when working with materials management with SAP S/4HANA logistics capabilities?

The Bahrain Development Bank (BDB) (Arabic: بنك البحرين للتنمية) is a development finance institution established to by the Government of Bahrain to promote investments in the country. BDB is registered with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and licensed by the Central Bank of Bahrain as a conventional retail bank.

Bahrain Development Bank provides a variety of financial services that are tailored to meet the needs of small and medium businesses in Bahrain. These includes business finance, Islamic financing and Tamkeen finance to manufacturing, agribusiness, healthcare and other services sectors.

BDB's headquarters are in Diplomatic Area, Manama, Bahrain. As of 31 December 2015, the total asset valuation of the bank was approximately US$514 Million (BHD:194 Million), with shareholder's equity of about US$204.77 million (BHD:77.19 million) and a branch network of six full-fledged branches and two satellite branches.

The BDB was established by Legislative Decree number 19 on 11 December 1991 and commenced operations as a bank on 20 January 1992. Its main agenda was to promote investments in Bahrain especially in crucial industries. The initial paid in share capital was BD 10 million, of which BD 7.25 million was subscribed by Government agencies, with the balance coming from local commercial banks and the private sector. A commitment from Government to provide BD 4 Million by way of loan at 2% per annum for each of the first ten years was intended to eventually boost resources to BD 50 million. Mr. Isa A. Borshaid, at the time Undersecretary at the Ministry of Finance, was the founding chairman of the board, and Roger J Webster – formerly senior vice president, business development and project management of the GCC's Gulf Investment Corporation Kuwait – was appointed chief executive officer.

By 31 December 1993, 19 staff were in post and 49 projects with an expected total cost of BD 27.829 million had been approved for investment. The bank's authorised contribution to this cost was BD 4.990 million (17.9%). Twenty-four of the approvals were start-ups with an expected project cost of BD 21.810 million, and some 36 of these approvals – mainly smaller projects to which the bank's contribution was in the region of 32% – had received full disbursement or were at the final legal documents stage. As the bank was still absorbing start-up costs it was not yet profitable, reporting a cumulative loss of BD 45,274 after charging interest on the government loan of BD 181,404. The bank's 1993 annual report contains much information on its organisation and operations.

In May 1994 the bank became the first Gulf financial institution to qualify as a European Community Investment Partner (ECIP), giving the Bahraini private sector the opportunity to access funding and support from Brussels and European industry, and a wide network of contacts.

By October 1994 Khalid S.S. Shaheen had taken over from Roger Webster, whilst earlier in the year Shaikh Ebrahim Bin Khalifa Al Khalifa had become the bank's chairman, having replaced Isa Borshaid as Undersecretary at the Ministry of Finance.

In 2014, BDB signed an agreement with Small Industries Development Bank of India to promote start-ups. In this agreement, SIDBI committed to providing technical assistance to BDB in risk management and credit management to further BDB's missions.

In 2014, BDB launched the Imagine Cup Competition in collaboration with Microsoft to support entrepreneurs and creators establish solutions geared to resolve some of the world's toughest challenges.

In 2015, Moody's assigned a Baa2/Prime-2/Negative rating to BDB due to the bank's high risk loan portfolio and reliance of public funding.

Other than its development banking core business, BDB also has subsidiaries and investments that are geared towards achieving its objectives. The companies that comprise the Bahrain Development Bank subsidiaries and investments include, but are not limited, to the following:

All these subsidiaries and investments are held in Bahrain.

The shares of the stock of Bahrain Development Bank are all held by the Government of Bahrain. This makes BDB a government parastatal.

Bahrain Development Bank is governed by an eight-person board of directors with Ghassan Ghaleb Abdulaal serving as the chairman of the group and Dalal AlQais as the CEO.
